I'm in Vancouver, Canada and today: The local ski hills closed down. Public libraries and pools closed down. Shopping malls reduced their hours. Some Starbucks have closed while others have removed chairs. Costco had cart line ups that snaked all around inside - they even had employees directing the traffic of carts. A few more deaths in Vancouver Canada closes border to all except Canadians and Americans - but asks Americans to stay away. Non-essential dental services paused. .
In my country, someone suspected that guy was sick, so they invited him for hospital, - guy refused, - they called for police. Cops came, man fought back, like in some Braveheart movie, - with knife. Eventually got taken away. Bad - Mad , only one latter diff. Probably looked something like this : If someone refuses to go to the hospital in US - can a person be taken away by force for inspection ?
Welcome to the last two weeks of living in America. I'm thinking about canceling my membership to costco. They're great and all, but I haven't been able to get anything and I usually buy in bulk out of laziness. I needed some bread for sandwiches and there wasn't even gluten free vegan brick bread, yeast, or flour left. I witnessed two women fighting over frozen pizza. Reports from friends on the other side of town is that people are camping out at around 4am to wait for stores to open at 7am. The US needs to implement a rationing system until the food supply chain problem is fixed. In a crisis you do not need 8 loaves of bread and 40 gallons of milk. The time to prepare was months or years ago. Not now. Guard your maple syrup reserves.
You can order pretty much anything for life from Amazon, although their delivery dates are now 8-10 days compared to the usual 2-3. We can survive without vegetables and fruits for a while. Get also a bread baker.
UK's getting there, no lock down, hopefully won't be, just make food more scarce, but EU pushing for it, to be as screwed as them, not much left in super markets, cheap stuff mainly all gone, could only buy 4 tins of cat food laughable and 1 pack of loo role. Nobody around in the day pretty normal, come the evening and ghost town. Mates, Mate tested positive for it last week, she saw him just before, so tick tick tick before it's my turn, got a mild cold hanging around as is. Girlie I'm knocking off, saw her Saturday, highly likely she's got it burning up waiting for the cough to confirm, so I'm defo screwed!! LOL Being Mildly, to Moderately ill is going to suck, but being house bound for months is what really worries me, BORED out of my brain!! 2020 worst your EVER!!
Vitamin Tablets and Water at my over weight I'm okay for 3months if I'm not excersizing, won't have much energy to walk to the shops but hey. Got 20+ cans of tinned fruit today, sorted!! and 20 large bars of chocolate 80p each, cheap calories
This would be a good time for a little fasting and weight loss. Instead of losing weight, Americans will put on more. They are depressed, staying home with a bunch of food: a recipe for disaster.
